My situation is that the developers write code in a particular way and then the code needs to be transformed as part of deployment. There are no "problems in the code" per se. For example, we have custom javascript that I'd like to put through a minification script. The developers should be able to edit/commit non-minified code, and the minification should be handled upon deployment. It appears that you may be right, that this is not a task that is well-suited to Cap.
Thanks.
